CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 6th Gen Camaro once again rumored with 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder variant

...smaller displacement next gen 4 or 6 cylinder direct injection motors with turbo's are going to give lots of power and good fuel economy, as mandated by the substantial fuel mileage mandates of CAFE in 2016. They will be used corporate wide. The LT1 and the LT4, 8 cyl DI engines, are the real elephants in the room. One na, one supercharged. Both 6.2 L. Both in a sense mechanically similar as in the LS3/LS9, but with different strength levels of certain reciprocating parts, valve train parts etc.., and fuel induction systems (FI and SC). Will that be it for 8 cyl choices, only 2? Will there be a 7.0L 427 CID in the works? Or will that displacement die with the LS line? Will they make the 5.3L in a SHP version as well? I think we should discuss the potential of a limited choice of 8 cyl SHP configurations in our future, since it appears MPG, gross vehicle weight, and GOV restrictions will limit our horsepower and CID diet.
